Peculiar Features.
The Hague, called by tho natives
S'Grnyenhagc, can hardly be regarded an
characteristic Dutch city either In on
old or in recent sense. It is city OF
Aristocrncy, OF the wealthy middle class,
md not OF eminence. Where its arehi-
lecture IS national IL lacks something Of
the national character, and where Il Is
really modern or cosmopolitan Il Is want
ing in elegance. Its streets are narrow
and crooked for the most part. Its open
places, which aro sometimes set with
trees, occasionally laid out with shrub
berry and flower beds I'm the Dutch FASH
ion, but oftener paved with brick set up
on edge and surrounded by old and un-
attractive buildings, which partly atone
by their nu er and spaciousness for
their lack OF more pleasing qualities.
There IL an mir of solemnity about the
place more marked since the shortening
OF the days and the first premonitions OF
autumn The grass keeps itS intense
greenness, but the trees begin to show nm
Ominous yellowness OF leaf The skies
are often lcaden. The sun Is seen rarely,
and never in the plenitude OF it's SPLEEN

place 10 lend mn artificial radiance to tho
universal gloom. There are few noisy

There are street cars OF the American
pattern winding their sinuous way
through the tortuous streets, giving a
little movement and making distant
neighborhOods more accessible. There
are fcw fashionable shops. Tho others
are small, and their business il carried
on without noise or hustle. The cnfes
arc neither numerous nor handsome, and
their patrons, whether they consume
coffee or beer, seldom indulge in hilarity.
The colors worn I'm Holland are gener-
ally black, which BELTS the gravity OF tho
people and harmOnizes with the sky and
landscape, and the inhabitants OF Tho
Hague have stronger prejudice even
than their eompatriots OF other Rmphibi-
Gus districts against bright colors. What

1t is without doubt the safest and
best remedy ever discovered for the
speedy and efectual cure for Colds.
Coughs, and the severest Lung
Troubles. 1t acts upon an entirely
different principle from the prescrip.
tiod' usually given by physicians.
as It does not dry up a Cough and
leave the disease still in the system.
but on the contrary removes the
cause Of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in
the house for use when the diseases
make their appearance, will save

you Of these facts. II is positively

struck with the wide information about such
matters that he displayed. We agreed that the
statuary OF the present age is inclined to be too
commonplace, and that II possible little more

the ancient works, without, however, sighting
the garb Of a modern subject. l thought with
him that q sculptor should regard such matters
with all due reverence, but, II possible should
endeavor to work out some symboiical suggestions
